Xephyr keyboard problem

[aivils at latnet.lv]

Hi,

I suppose that patch is into mainstream.

Xephyr -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/evdev1 -keybd
evdev,,device=/dev/input/evdev0,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=us

If You use this commandline, then You bypass X server events and use Linux mouse
and keyboard directly.
